Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transmission gear technology, and in particular to a circular arc tooth profile gear mechanism with a combination of end face circular arc and parabola. Background Technology

[0002] Gears are widely used in industrial equipment such as robot joint reducers, automotive gearboxes, wind turbine gearboxes, and machine tool headstocks to transmit motion and power, and are considered the "heart" of machines. Currently, conventional parallel-axis cylindrical gear drives, such as involute spur gears, helical gears, and circular arc gears, struggle to overcome transmission failures caused by relative sliding of tooth surfaces, including friction and wear, scuffing, plastic deformation, thermal deformation, vibration, and noise. Furthermore, gear lubrication systems increase the overall weight and cost of the machine, and in extreme environments such as high temperature, low temperature, high pressure, vacuum, and strong radiation, lubricants may fail, and their emissions cause irreversible environmental pollution. With the rapid development of the intelligent manufacturing industry, conventional gear products can no longer meet the precision transmission requirements of high-end equipment such as automotive automatic transmissions, robot reducers, wind turbine gearboxes, and high-speed rail transit. High-performance gear products are heavily reliant on imports. High-performance gear design and manufacturing technology has become a key factor restricting the development of the high-end equipment manufacturing field, and how to avoid relative sliding of tooth surfaces and improve gear transmission performance is one of the key problems that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

[0003] To address the various problems associated with parallel shaft gear transmissions, researchers both domestically and internationally have successively invented single-circular-arc gears, double-circular-arc gears, and circular-arc toothed cylindrical gears. For example, Chinese patent application number 202110318591.7 discloses "A double-circular-arc gear reduction transmission device with small tooth difference and a method for forming double-circular-arc teeth," and Chinese patent application number 202123012746.9 discloses "A variable hyperbolic circular-arc toothed cylindrical gear pair structure." However, the tooth profiles of the small and large gears in these double-circular-arc gears are based on the same hob cutter and cut using the generating method. Furthermore, to ensure correct meshing of the large and small gears, the pressure angles at the two meshing points of the hob tooth profile are set to equal values. Therefore, the limitation of the existing double circular arc gear mechanism is that, due to the constraint that the pressure angles of the two meshing points of the tooth profile are equal, its structure is not an optimal load-bearing design structure. When the equipped mechanical equipment is subjected to heavy-load transmission, it may cause tooth breakage and thus lead to accidents. The tooth surface design of the above-mentioned hyperbolic circular arc cylindrical gear pair is limited by the machining cutter head parameters, and the tooth tips at both ends become sharp. The effective contact area of ​​the tooth surface is only concentrated in a limited area at the center of the tooth width. Therefore, when applied to high-load transmission, there is a risk of tooth breakage. At the same time, the relatively large relative sliding of the tooth surface leads to severe friction and wear. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, in order to solve the problems in the prior art where the effective contact area of ​​the tooth surface in the gear mechanism is only concentrated in a limited area at the center of the tooth width, which poses a risk of tooth breakage, and where the relative sliding of the tooth surface is large and friction and wear are severe, the embodiments of the present invention provide a circular arc tooth profile gear mechanism with a combination of end face arc and parabola.

[0005] Embodiments of the present invention provide a circular arc toothed gear mechanism with a combined end-face arc and parabolic tooth profile, comprising a pair of gears consisting of a small gear and a large gear with parallel axes. The small gear and the large gear engage in pure rolling meshing transmission. The end-face tooth profile curves of the small gear and the large gear are composed of end-face working tooth profile curves and tooth root transition curves. The end-face tooth profile curves of the small gear and the large gear are symmetrical on both sides. The end-face working tooth profiles of the small gear and the large gear are a combined end-face arc and parabolic tooth profile. The tooth surfaces of the small gear and the large gear have a circular arc toothed structure. At least one pair of gear teeth meshing points of the small gear and the large gear are located at nodes to achieve pure rolling meshing contact. The meshing points of the small gear and the large gear rotate relative to each other to form meshing lines, which respectively form two contact lines on the tooth surfaces of the small gear and the large gear.

[0006] Furthermore, the tooth surface structure of the small wheel and the large wheel is formed by their respective tooth profile curves moving along the contact line with the contact point, and the contact line is a z-axis symmetrical arc after being unfolded along the pitch cylinder surface of the small wheel and the large wheel.

[0007] Furthermore, the left working tooth profile curves of both the small wheel and the large wheel are composed of both circular arcs and parabolic planar curves at the inter-tooth control point P. bi The small wheel and the large wheel are smoothly connected, and the inter-tooth control point G on the right side of the tooth profile is used when they are installed. bi With node P i Overlapping, control point G bi Control point P between teeth on the left working tooth profile curve bi Obtained by axisymmetry; the shape of the working tooth profile curve on the end face is determined by the tooth tip control point P. ai Inter-tooth control point P bi and tooth root control point P ci It is determined that the combination type of the working tooth profile curves of the small wheel and the large wheel from the tooth tip to the tooth root is CP, where C and P represent circular arc and parabola, respectively. The circular arc is the upper curve of the working tooth profile, and the parabola is the lower curve of the working tooth profile; the tooth root transition curve is the tooth root control point P. ci With tooth root control point P di The determined Hermite curve, and the root transition curve and the lower working profile curve at the tooth root control point P. ci Smooth connection.

[0008] Furthermore, the tooth tip control point P of the left working tooth profile of the small wheel and the large wheel aiFrom the tooth tip circle radius R ai and offset angle χ ai Confirmed, χ ai J is the reference point for the tooth tips of the small wheel and the large wheel. ai The angle of clockwise rotation around the center; control point P at the root of the tooth. ci From the radius R of the tooth root circle ci and offset angle χ ci Confirmed, χ ci J is the reference point for the tooth root of the small wheel and the large wheel. ci The angle of clockwise rotation around the center; wherein, the reference point J of the tooth tip of the small wheel and the large wheel. ai An involute with the same base circle radius, end face pressure angle, and radius R as the small wheel and the large wheel, respectively. ai The intersection of the addendum circles; the reference point J of the tooth root of the small wheel and the large wheel. ci An involute with the same base circle radius, end face pressure angle, and radius R as the small wheel and the large wheel, respectively. ci The intersection of the tooth root circles.

[0009] Furthermore, the contact line between the tooth surfaces of the small wheel and the large wheel is determined by the following method: in o p -x p ,y p ,z p o k -x k ,y k ,z k and o g -x g ,y g ,z g In the three spatial coordinate systems, z p The shaft coincides with the rotation axis of the small wheel, z g The shaft coincides with the rotation axis of the large wheel, z k Shaft and through meshing point M a and M b The meshing lines KK coincide, and z k axis and z p z g The axes are parallel to each other, x p With x g Coincident axis, x k With x g The axis is parallel, o p o g The distance is a; coordinate system o1-x1,y1,z1 is fixed to the small wheel, and coordinate system o2-x2,y2,z2 is fixed to the large wheel. The coordinate systems o1-x1,y1,z1 and o2-x2,y2,z2 of the small wheel and the large wheel are respectively fixed to coordinate system o at the starting position. p-x p ,y p ,z p and o g -x g ,y g ,z g When they coincide, the meshing point M is reached. a and M b The overlap is denoted as M, and the small wheel revolves around z at a uniform angular velocity ω1. p The shaft rotates clockwise, and the large wheel revolves around the z-axis at a uniform angular velocity ω2. g The axis rotates counterclockwise. After a period of time from the initial position, the coordinate system o1-x1,y1,z1 and o 2- x2, y2, z2 rotate respectively, and the small wheel revolves around z p The shaft rotated Angle, large wheel around z g The shaft rotated horn;

[0096] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

[0097] 1. This invention discloses a circular arc toothed gear mechanism with a combined end-face arc and parabolic tooth profile. Based on the active design of the meshing point motion law, it constructs a contact line for node meshing. The contact line is an axisymmetric arc after unfolding on the pitch cylinder surface, achieving a theoretical value of zero relative sliding velocity for all meshing points on the contact line. This effectively reduces relative sliding and frictional wear between tooth surfaces. Furthermore, this invention's circular arc toothed gear mechanism with a combined end-face arc and parabolic tooth profile has no tooth tip sharpening phenomenon, and the contact area covers the entire tooth width. It can be designed to utilize a larger tooth width to transmit larger loads, resulting in better motion stability. Additionally, the relative difference between the maximum contact stress on the tooth surface and the maximum bending stress at the tooth root during forward and reverse rotation of this invention's parabolic toothed gear mechanism with a combined end-face arc and parabolic tooth profile is extremely small.

[0098] 2. The present invention provides a circular arc gear mechanism with a tooth profile combining an end face arc and a parabola. The cylindrical surface of its contact line, when unfolded, is an axisymmetric arc rather than an inclined straight line. Therefore, there is no axial force during transmission, the shaft system installation conditions are simpler, and the structure is simple.

[0099] 3. The circular arc toothed gear mechanism of the present invention, which has a combined end-face arc and parabolic tooth profile, is theoretically a pure rolling meshing mechanism with low friction and wear, no axial force, good self-centering, easy installation, and low sensitivity to installation errors. Compared with the existing traditional involute herringbone gear transmission mechanism, the circular arc toothed gear mechanism of the present invention also has the advantages of not requiring a relief groove design, being able to be formed in one step, having a simple processing technology, and being easy to assemble.

[0100] 4. The end face tooth profile of the circular arc gear mechanism of the present invention is not a single circular arc or other planar curve, but a combination of multiple curves. This enables effective control of the contact ellipse and contact area, avoids edge contact, increases the relative radius of curvature, improves the tooth surface contact strength and tooth root bending strength, and enhances the load-bearing capacity.

[0101] 5. The present invention provides a circular arc toothed gear mechanism with a combined end-face arc and parabolic tooth profile, which has no undercut and a minimum number of teeth of 1. Compared with existing parallel shaft involute gear mechanisms and arc toothed cylindrical gear transmission mechanisms, it can achieve single-stage large transmission ratio and high overlap ratio transmission. At the same time, since the number of teeth can be designed to be smaller, a larger tooth thickness and module can be designed for the same gear pitch circle diameter, thereby having higher bending strength and greater load-bearing capacity. It is suitable for widespread application in the fields of micro / micro machinery, conventional mechanical transmission and high-speed heavy-duty transmission.

[0102] 6. The present invention provides a circular arc toothed gear mechanism with a combined end-face arc and parabola tooth profile. By optimizing the design of the tooth root transition curve shape control parameters, the small gear and the large gear can have similar tooth root bending strength, thereby achieving equal strength design of the transmission mechanism and further improving the service life of the equipment.

[0118] Example 1:

[0119] This invention provides a circular arc gear mechanism with a combined end-face arc and parabolic tooth profile, applied to a reduction transmission with a transmission ratio of 3 between parallel shafts, designed with a contact ratio of ε = 2.4. Its structure is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes a small gear 4 and a large gear 6, which form a pair of gears. The small gear 4 is connected to the input shaft 3, and the input shaft 3 is fixed to the drive motor 1 through the coupling 2. The large gear 6 is connected to the output shaft 5, that is, the large gear 6 is connected to the driven load through the output shaft 5. The axes of the small gear 4 and the large gear 6 are parallel to each other. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the spatial meshing coordinate system of a circular arc gear mechanism with a combined end-face arc and parabola tooth profile according to the present invention.

[0120] See Figure 1 , 2 3, 4, 5, 6, the pitch cylinder radius of the pinion is R1, and the addendum circle radius of the pinion is R. a1 The radius of the tooth root circle is R d1 The pinion gear has teeth with evenly distributed circular arc tooth lines on the outer surface of its root cylinder. This structure is formed by the pinion end-face tooth profile curve moving along the contact line of the tooth surface at the contact point. Furthermore, the contact line, when unfolded along the pinion pitch cylinder, is an axisymmetric arc. The end-face tooth profile of the pinion gear is axisymmetric, meaning the left and right end-face tooth profiles are axially symmetrical. Taking the left end-face tooth profile of the pinion as an example, from the tooth tip to the tooth root, it consists sequentially of the upper circular arc curve 17 of the left end-face working tooth profile, the lower parabola 16 of the left end-face working tooth profile, and the left end-face tooth root transition curve, i.e., the Hermite curve 15.

This structure is formed by the movement of the large wheel end face tooth profile curve along the contact line of the tooth surface at the contact point. Furthermore, the contact line, when unfolded along the large wheel pitch cylinder surface, is an axisymmetric arc. The end face tooth profile of the large wheel teeth is axisymmetric, meaning the left and right end face tooth profiles are axially symmetrical. Taking the left end face tooth profile of the large wheel as an example, from the tooth tip to the tooth root, it is successively composed of the upper circular arc curve 14 of the left end face working tooth profile of the small wheel tooth, the lower parabola 13 of the left end face working tooth profile, and the left end face tooth root transition curve, i.e., the Hermite curve 12.

[0122] The working tooth profiles on the end faces of the small and large wheels are a combination of end-face circular arcs and parabolas, and are axially symmetrical on both sides. The tooth profile on the right side of the end face can be obtained axially symmetrically from the tooth profile on the left side of the end face. The curve of the working tooth profile on the left side is formed by two planar curves, circular arc and parabola, at the control point P between the teeth. bi The small wheel and the large wheel are smoothly connected, and the inter-tooth control point G on the right side of the tooth profile is used when they are installed. bi With node P i Overlapping, control point G bi Control point P between teeth on the left working tooth profile curve bi Obtained by axisymmetry; the shape of the working tooth profile curve on the end face is determined by the tooth tip control point P. ai Inter-tooth control point P bi and tooth root control point P ci Specifically, the combination type of the working tooth profile curves of both the small and large gears from the tooth tip to the tooth root is CP, where "C" and "P" represent the circular arc (Cir) and parabola (Par), respectively. The circular arc is the upper curve of the working tooth profile, and the parabola is the lower curve of the working tooth profile. The tooth root transition curve is the tooth root control point P. ci With tooth root control point P di The determined Hermite curve (Her), and the root transition curve and the lower working profile curve at the tooth root control point P. ci Smooth connection.

[0205] For a gear mechanism with a combined end-face arc and parabolic tooth profile, the overlap ratio must be greater than 2. The formula for calculating the overlap ratio is as follows:

[0206] Based on the overlap ratio ε, the linear scaling factor Given the number of teeth Z1 of the small gear, the maximum value of the motion parameter variable at the meshing point of the circular arc tooth profile gear mechanism with the combined end face arc and parabola is:

[0207]

[0208] When the number of teeth Z1 of the pinion and the transmission ratio i are determined 12 End face module m t , overlap ε, linear scaling factor End face pressure angle α t Tooth width b, tooth root transition curve shape control parameter T H The angle χ of the tooth tip reference point of the small gear rotating clockwise around the center. a1 The angle χ of the tooth tip reference point of the large wheel rotating clockwise around the center. a2 The angle χ of the tooth root reference point of the small gear rotating clockwise around the center. c1 The angle χ of the tooth root reference point of the large wheel rotating clockwise around the center. c2 The starting point P of the transition curve at the root of the small wheel and the large wheel ci radius variation coefficient k c At that time, the maximum value of the motion parameter variable Δt at the meshing point, the contact line and the meshing line, the end face combined tooth profile of the pinion and the large gear and their correct installation distance are also determined accordingly. The tooth surface arc tooth line structure of the pinion and the large gear can also be determined, thus obtaining the arc tooth line gear mechanism with the end face arc and parabola combined tooth profile.

[0209] In the above formula: the axes of each coordinate system, a, b, mt , ρ a1 , ρ a2 x pimin x pimax r c R1 and R2 are both in millimeters (mm) as the unit of length, radius or distance. ξ ai ξ aimin ξ aimax , ε1, δ2, χ a1 , χ c1 , χ a2 and χ c2 The unit for equal angles is radians (rad); pressure angle α t The unit is degrees (°).

[0210] In the above formula, the relevant parameters take the values ​​of: Z1 = 24, i 12 =3,m t = 4 millimeters (mm), ε = 2.4, Radius (rad), b = 80 millimeters (mm), α t =20°, T H =0.5, χ a1 =0.08rad, χ a2 =0.04rad, substituting into equation (15)-(35), we get Δt =0.1, a =192 mm;

[0211] Then, by substituting the above values ​​into equations (1) to (14), we can obtain the contact line parameter equations and end face tooth profile parameter equations of the small wheel and the large wheel in this example. Then, based on the helical motion, we can obtain the tooth surface structure of the small wheel and the large wheel, and assemble them according to the correct center distance.

[0212] When the drive motor 1 drives the input shaft 3 and the small wheel 2 to rotate, due to the pre-set overlap ratio ε = 2.4 of the arc tooth line pure rolling external meshing gears with the combined end-face arc and parabolic tooth profile when the small wheel 2 and the large wheel 5 are correctly installed, both pairs of adjacent teeth are in a meshing state. Therefore, it is ensured that at any instant, at least two pairs of teeth participate in the meshing transmission simultaneously, thereby realizing the continuous and stable meshing transmission of the arc tooth line gear mechanism with the combined end-face arc and parabolic tooth profile during rotational motion. In this embodiment, the input shaft connected to the motor rotates clockwise, corresponding to the deceleration transmission mode of the arc tooth line pure rolling external meshing gear with the combined end-face arc and parabolic tooth profile, to realize the deceleration and torque increase transmission of the counterclockwise rotation of the large wheel.

[0213] Example 2:

[0214] The circular arc toothed gear mechanism of this invention, which combines the end face arc and parabola tooth profile, is applied to a parallel shaft speed-increasing transmission. For example... Figure 8 As shown, a large wheel 6 is connected to the input shaft 3, which is fixedly connected to the drive motor 1 via a coupling 2. A small wheel 4 is connected to the output shaft 5, meaning the small wheel 4 is connected to the driven load via the output shaft 5. The axes of the small wheel 4 and the large wheel 6 are parallel. In this embodiment, the large wheel 5 has 63 teeth, and the small wheel 2 has 21 teeth, with a designed overlap ratio ε = 2.4. When the input shaft 3 drives the large wheel 6 to rotate, since both pairs of adjacent teeth are in a meshing state when the large wheel 6 and the small wheel 4 are installed, the pre-set overlap ratio ε = 2.4 for this pair of arc tooth profile pure rolling external meshing gears with a combined end-face arc and parabolic tooth profile ensures that at any given moment, at least two pairs of teeth simultaneously participate in the meshing transmission, thus achieving continuous and stable meshing transmission of the arc tooth profile gear mechanism with a combined end-face arc and parabolic tooth profile during rotational motion. At this time, the speed ratio of the large wheel to the small wheel is 3, that is, the angular velocity ratio of the small wheel to the large wheel is 3.

[0215] The relevant parameters are respectively set to: Z1 = 21, i 12 =3,m t =3 millimeters (mm), ε = 2.4, Radius (rad), b = 80 millimeters (mm), α t =25°, T H =0.6, χ a1 =0.06rad, χ a2 Substituting 0.03 rad into equations (15)-(35), we obtain Δt = 0.1 and a = 126 mm.

[0216] Then, by substituting the above values ​​into equations (1) to (14), we can obtain the contact line parameter equations and end face tooth profile parameter equations of the small wheel and the large wheel in this example. Then, based on the helical motion, we can obtain the tooth structure of the small wheel and the large wheel, and assemble them according to the correct center distance.

[0217] In this embodiment, the input shaft connected to the driver rotates counterclockwise, corresponding to the speed-increasing transmission method of the arc toothed gear mechanism with a combination of end-face arc and parabola tooth profile, in order to achieve clockwise rotation of the small wheel.

[0218] This invention discloses a circular arc gear mechanism with a combined end-face arc and parabolic tooth profile. Based on an active design method using the meshing line parametric equation, it employs a combination of circular arc curves and parabolas to form the end-face working tooth profile, achieving theoretically pure rolling meshing transmission. It also enables active control of the contact area and contact ellipse, reducing tooth surface friction, increasing the overall radius of curvature, and enhancing tooth surface contact strength and tooth root bending strength. This circular arc gear mechanism with a combined end-face arc and parabolic tooth profile exhibits no undercut and a minimum tooth count of 1. Compared to existing parallel-axis involute gear mechanisms, it can achieve single-stage high transmission ratio and high overlap ratio transmission. Furthermore, due to the small tooth count, it allows for designing gears with the same pitch circle diameter. The larger tooth thickness results in higher strength and greater load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for widespread application in micro / micro machinery, conventional mechanical transmission, and high-speed heavy-duty transmission. The circular arc toothed gear mechanism of this invention, with its combined end-face arc and parabolic tooth profile, can also achieve similar tooth root bending strength for the small and large gears through optimized design of the root transition curve parameters, realizing equal strength design of the transmission mechanism and further extending the service life of the equipment. The circular arc toothed pure rolling external meshing gear mechanism of this invention exhibits extremely small differences between the maximum tooth surface contact stress and the maximum tooth root bending stress in both forward and reverse transmission, providing approximately bidirectional transmission strength. In practical use, one of the small gear 4 and the large gear 6 is connected to an input shaft, which is connected to a driver 1. The driver 1 can drive the small gear 4 or the large gear 6 to perform forward or reverse transmission.
